No there isn't, contrary to what you may read, don't get sucked in by others who want to see you get hurt. They will say they did there own piercing with a sewing needle and didn't have any troubles. Well now think that was sheer luck that they didn't contract MRSA or any other of numerous viruses and bacterial infections out there in the world.
Professional body piercers care, that's why we spend the money we do in quality body jewellery, sterilization equipment, training and licensing and go though a yearly health inspection. There are a lot of vessels, nerves, connective tissue involved in making a lip what it is, it only takes a moment to screw up something as complex as a lip. Save your self the grief, see a professional body piercer.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years for hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Piercing your lip by yourself is it safe to use ice?
You should not self-pierce your lip as it requires proper technique, proper equipment, and also you need to keep everything sanitary. But if you have already done this by yourself then I would say that you can use ice because using ice is considered the best method for healing lip piercing. You can place an ice pack directly on the swollen area for some time and repeat this for a couple of times to get rid of the swelling. If you are facing any kind of major issue then you must consult a professional without wasting any time.
How can you safely pierce your own lip?
If I were you, I'd go to a professional, but make sure you go to someone recommended or else they might use dirty needles, etc. ----------------------- There is no "safe" way to pierce your own lip. If you are hell bent on doing it yourself then I would recommend lots and lots of research and you're going to spend more to do it right at home than you would if you were having it done professionally.
Is it okay to sterilize a needle with bactine to pierce your lip?
No. There is no way for you to sanitize anything unless you have an autoclave. You should NEVER pierce yourself unless you are a professional. Save up some money and go to a pro. You don't want to end up with an infection, rejection, enamel/gum erosion from improper placement, or scars from making the mistake of piercing yourself.

How do you peirce your lip by yourself safely without your parents finding out?
1) there is no way you can pierce them without them EVER finding out, since you have to keep it on for at least a period of time before taking them out. 2) unless you want to take a risk of an horrible ugly infection, you should NEVER take the risk of piercing ANY part of your body by yourself, since you don't have the proper equipment and procedure necessary
